Convenience, An Expected Benefit

“It is remarkably convenient,” Mr. Brenan says, “rather than a four-hour round trip to get somewhere, you take the elevator down, you have a 45-minute session, and you are back at your desk.”

Kane Brenan is a managing director at Goldman Sachs. The financial firm was recently the focus of an in-depth feature on employer-funded on-site clinics in the Wall Street Journal.

Brenan's comments underline a trend: the convenience of an on-site clinic is becoming an expected benefit at many large employers. In fact, 50% of all American businesses will offer an on-site clinic to their employees by the end of this year.
